“Same Same, But Different”

Due to evolving workplace dynamics experienced by professional educators, this cross-sectional comparative study aims to determine the differences in work engagement and affective commitment among educators across three learning modalities: online, hybrid, and face-to-face, in select private educational institutions in the Philippines. A total sample of seventy-five educators with an equal sample per modality (twenty-five) were randomly selected and enrolled into this study. The data was analyzed using Fisher’s One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), including Tukey’s post hoc tests. The findings show significant differences in work engagement and affective commitment across the learning modalities among educators in select educational institutions. Educators in the face-to-face modality have higher work engagement and affective commitment than those in the hybrid and online modalities. No significant difference was observed in engagement and affective commitment between the face-to-face and hybrid modalities. This study addresses literature gaps on work settings for policy formation, focusing on well-being initiatives for practice.
